Rodgers landed Aly Cissokho on a season-long loan earlier this year but it is unclear if he will remain at Anfield beyond the end of the season.

Aogo could make his deal permanent at Schalke for just £2.5m next summer, but both Roma and Liverpool are reportedly keen on tempting him away from the Bundesliga.

However, the 26-year-old's agent Gordon Stipic says the player has expressed a desire to stay his on-loan club.

He told Ilsussidiario.net:"I know nothing of Roma's interest in the German footballer - he's fine and wants to stay at Schalke. It's normal, however, that a player as strong as him is attracting other clubs."
